cultivated, and no person has the
right to neglect them or abuse
them. We should attentively OBJ
serve the qualities of natures
works. IL is important that this
should be done accurately. Learn
something from every source, the
works of God and the works OF
man. Learn the names of quail
ties, actions and relations; but be
sure, that you fix thoroughly in
your mind the idea or notion of
the quality, action or relation,
and then the name or word that
represents it. Remember that a
word is the sign of an idea or mo-
ton. Suppose, you hear the word
cylinder, and are told that every
blade of grass is cylindrical IN
form, you have no valuable infor-
nation unless a correct idea has
been formed of these words. 1t
is q very poor rule to collect a
stock of words without clear no
tions of the objects or qualities
which they represent. By using
the eyes, and noting with care the
many objects around us, a person
may soon be rich 10 valuable in
formation. Il is delightful to hear
an intelligent person converse and
mention objects, actions, qualities
and relations by their appropriate
aud exact terms. II shows pitiful
mental poverty to designate every
sermon by the one quality, good,
and dozen unlike objects by the
term, nice, Observe with the ut
mostlcare. Learn the distinguish
ing quality of objects. Use the
dictionary. Make thorough work
In every observation. Be indus
trious in gathering facts. Avoid
all slovenly mental habits. Do
this work continually and cheer
fully. Striye to get knowledge,
and be in earnest to get wisdom
which is the tight Use of knowl-
edge. The world is full of activ-
ity, full ofbeauty, full of joyous,
giadsome life. Move among them
with open eyes. and be eager to
seize these rich bounties.
''Be not like dumb. driven cattle.
Be a hero in the strife"
A student or any person who
will thus gather precious knowl-
edge from natures vast domain
and from the world OF Art, can
never find time for lonesomeness.
Lonesomeness is a cynic whose
heart has been mldewed with 100
much of nothing-to-do. Dull and
squint-eyed, he loiters and whines
and sighs for bawbles.

We need urgently more school
houses; especially in those dis
tricts where churches are used for
school purposes. We need a sup
ply Of charts, globes and outline
maps, and other references to aid
progressive teachers in making
progressive schools.
Above all other things it is ABB
soluteiy necessary that the foun-
datlon fol education be laid at
home, by the parents. There is
an indispensable part Of Il child's
education, which should never be
left alone to the teqcher. Parents
should instil from early infancy, !,

obedience to rightful authority,

growth of the habits Of industry
and honesty, which lead to direct

The work of the parent and

RECRUITING THE pRoHIsITIoNIsTs.

Close upon the heels Of the
GamDrell murder comes the report
Of another attempt to meet the
prohibition warfare Of tongue and
pen with physical violence and
bloodshed. On Thursday night
last, while the Rev, 7. j. Duncan
was delivering a prohibition lee
ture in church at Springfield,
Tenn, the lecture was interrupt
ed by two deafening explosions.
Every pane of glass in the build
lug was shattered, and examines
tion showed the ground in the
rear of the church torn up for
some distance. "It is believed
that dynamite cartridges were
used, with the intention Of either
frightening or killing Mr.. Duncan.
This is quite like the old tunes
when it was considered the correct
thing TO shoot down the man
whose speech was unpalata5le or
unanswerable. In those days,
however, this code prevailed main
Iy south Of Mason and Dixon 8
line, and was reserved for the
Yankee abolitionists. This latest
essay makes dishonors easy be-
tween the two sections-HaJdock
and Northup in Iowa and Ohio,
and Gambrell and Duncan in Mis-
sissIppi and Tennessee.
Slavery was not more surely
doomed by the shot fred against
Sumter, than is the reign of whis-
ky politics by this resort to as
sassipation. Sioux City and
Hayerh,iI, jackson and Spring
field will prove names to conjure
with in swelling the ranks of the
prohibitlonists at the polls. If
cowardly, brutal murder is the
last defense of the whisky trade
the sentiment of the nation de-
mands that the business be closed
out OF put under proper control.

POWER OF OBSERVATION.
WHAT We cAN KNOW
ARTICLE x.

---'DfF
/. All that we know of the
mind are certain operations. Man
can think, reason, remember, i'm
aglne, will and desire. All that
we know of matter consists in
certain qualities. Some of these
are length, breadth, depth, weight,
color, hardness, softness, impene-
trability, elasticity and form.
These will suggest other qualities.
Besides these qualities, there are
many relations which we may
know. Such are those which one
man sustains to another, and those
which man sustains to God, and
those which exist between matter.
Actions, qualities and relations of
mind and matter may be known,
and as these furnish the material
of our knowledge. when we col
lect them, through observation,
our stock Of knowledge is increas-
ed.

oUANTED WITH NATTER.
2. The five senses are the gate
ways to the soul. Through them
we learn everything that belongs
to the external world. The sense
of seeing acquaints us with colors,
magnitude and distance; that of
hearing, with sounds; taste, with
those qualities known as sweet
and bitter; smelling, with certain
odors; and touch, with those
qualities expressed by such adiec-
tives, as hard, soft, warm and
cold. The object in this topic is
merely to show through what or
gans every person obtains infor-
nation OF the external world, and
a statement of a few of the quail
ties obtained through each of the
senses. The Industrious and in
quiring student can easily pursue
the subject. We now know the
way to get information, and we
Ray learn from this, how wisely
God has arranged our bodily frame,
and how impossible it would be
for the eye to do the work of tue
ear, or any other sense.

above us at high noon to-day; and
yet, we know these skies, as those
which bent above our fathers, and
shall bend above our children, are
the same forever and forever.
The forests, which crown the hills,
encrcling US renew their verdure
and their beauty with each recur-
ring spring, but we know that
branches stretching skyward, and
roots striking deep downward,
and sturdy trunk uniting both are
one and the same forever. Con-
ditions change, environment. al>
ters, and development advances,
but law of mind. and law of mat
ter changes never. 1t is the same
yesterday, to-day and forever.
In fiber and texture, in brawn and
blood, the South Of to-day are
one only.
We stand, unflinching. unapol-
ogetlc, by the past. Nay, our
proudest Joy will be found in the
consciousness that twas our rare
fortune to have made that past,
in great measure, what il was and
is. No matter what the future
may have in store for us, no
keener JOY shall ever gladden. our
lives than that found up in the
recollection that we served that
system Of Confederate States
whose policy Jefferson Davis dir
ected, and whose armies Lee led.
We shall never be seduced nor
driven from this high ground.
And, Mr.. Chairman, the surest
pledge and promise Of future
loyalty is offered by past fidelity,
and deathless adherence 10 truth
and right, as we love truth and
right and fought for them. The
men who can most safely be
trusted now are the men who
were truest in the past, and who
are yet true to that past. Indul-
ging in no intimation of pleasure
over the overthrow of the Confed-
crate armies, we vet purpose, in
this re-united government Of our
fathers, as in that whose estab-
lshment we undertook with stain
less faith and steady hands to
demonstrate the sincerity of our
loyalty to this government. as we
did 10 that. We strive and labor
now 10 advance the welfare and
the honor OF the whole Union, and
with no tinge of bitterness in our
hearts, we recognize and hail as
brethren our fellow citizens of
the North.
But | forbear. No words OF
mine can add anything to that
mute expression of rcverent af-
fection which pulsate in every
bosom and glows in every eye, as
this evening, we pay respectful
homage to the noblest type Of
American manhood-Jolie rson
Davis.

Only friends aud nothing moref
Only trieudsi Can it be true;
After fair aud gloomy weather.
ONLY friends when once dreamed
We'd taste lrfe's joys together.
Only friends, yet you and 1
Once dared to dream Of love.
And we faucied our lives would be
Bright as the stars aboye.
And, dear, it was yonr hand,
That shattered the hopes divine,
Ruined my life and broke
This poor youag heart of mine.
Iwonder If you ever think
OF the cruel words you spoke,
And does thought e'er come to you
Of the plighted VOWS you broke.
No. you are happy, gay and free;
Your life is full of bliss,
But alasl know for me
There is no happiness.
Flowers bloom around your path,
Bright and happy is your home,
And you never think of the heart
You left to bleed and moan.
But Scu can never know
What pain my poor heart rends,
As fnd that after all.
You and are 0nly trierds.
Only friends, only friends.
You say we must ever be.
Thcn remember will prove
A faithful friend to thee.
And when dark waves OF sorrow
Shall o'er thee their shadows send
When ali on earth desert you.
Come back to me my friend.
And I'll greet the with smile,
AS in the days OF old,
And I'll love thee with love
That never shall grow cold.
All! yes, the loye that
Have given unto you,
Is the one love Of a lifetime,
Faithful, fond and true.
/ know It's hopeless love
Yet IL can never, never die
But Ill bury it deep in my heart,
For only friends are you and |,
But think not that blame You,
Because vow were false to me,
Ahlne, twas not your iault,
Twas only fate's decree.
80 shake hands and say good bye
My place in your heart lresign,
To another and with it the love
Taat once thought was mlne,
We now must tread onr separate ways
On restless sea or sunny shore,
No more to meet, but ever ro be
Only friends forever moro

privilege Of the ground had
been sold by the Drill committees
for $500, but il is settled that
only temperance drinks shall be
dispensed at the rcfreshmcnt
counter under the grand stand this

privilege has been attributed to
the Influence of the President

to suggestion from the Com
missioner of public grounds, to

Give Honest Judgment.

People are very apt to wrongly judge
other peoples acts and deeds. They
impute motives which are not in the
least complimentary to the person
against whom the aspersions are cast. as
we'll as to themselves. If good deed is
performed, the act is Immediately criti-
cised by many who would not or could not
anticipate it and very frequently the cal
umnies are made to effectually conceal the
merit of the act. tor the time being and in
its Immediate surroundings. Envy, pre-
JUDGE, want of respect, distrust. and many
such causes must be assigned tor this
characteristic of society. 1t is general.
not local. 1t is displayed in connection
with the acts and deeds of every depart
ment of life. 1t attaches its accusations
t, all persons, high or low, rich or poor,
ignorant or educated.
If people we're to take this state OF
affairs into consideration before they per-
formed any deed of charity, benevolence
and philanthropy and estimated the amount
OF criticism they would be subjected to
thereby, society would be made great
loser; but so firm is the purpose prompt
ed by motives which too often, cannot be
appreciated by those who set themselves
up as judges and sometimes even by those
who are benefited that they would per-
haps hold to their purpose. About year
ago Mr. Jonas Clark of Worcester, Mass,
gave two million dollars to found uni
versitv. The motives attributed to him
for this generous deed might have been
many. 1t is not likely, however, that he
acted for the purpose of dispelliDg any
accusation of stinginess or for the purpose
his name permanentthroughs sue
ceeding generations. His deed when
rightly considered has more of true noble
ness and generosity attached to it. Men
of wealth are beginning to realize more
and more their obligations to society and
to act up to their convictions. 1t does not
appear upon careful consideration. that
there is decline of duty but rather that
the obligations which exist and are created
between man and man .are becoming more
fully recognized.
1t is true that the magnitude of this
deed may give it the appearance of being
an exception but it is not. The amounts
of money and the property given in charity
benevolence and philanthropy during the
past twenty years has been constantly in
creasing with each year. During 1886 the
aggregate reached nearly score of a mil.
lion of dollars. Let no one imagine that
the end of the chapter has been reached.
In order to meet the new wants of future
time more aptly and more adequately. it
is most probable, that within the
next few years, many men and women.
persons who are prompted by motives OF
true generosity and by conscientious rec
ognition of duty and obligation. will contin-
ue to devise institutions for alleviating the
hardships of toll, for furnishing the means
of education to those unable to procure it,
for elevating the morals of the people and
for Frightening the pathway of life. The
least benefited public can do then, is to
give honest judgement.

He could not explain its cause, but it kept
increasing in size and soreness He bathed

court plaster and still it continued to pain
him To-day he discovered the source of the
trouble. 1t was nothing more or less than a
small green tag which the manufacturer or
merchant had placed upon the band of his
hat. A physician told him that the sore was
the result of poisoning, due to- the arsenic in
the green tag and that it was fortunate that
the poison had not entered his system. Such
cases are Of common occurrence.
